How a Gnostic Book Combined Ancient Mystery Schools - Nag Hammadi Codex VI

Video Description

The Egyptian Gnostic Manuscript Library found in 1945 has transformed how we think about ancient Philosophy and Spirituality. Among those 12 codices is one more mysterious than all the others. Nag Hammadi Codex VI combines tales of Jesus as the angelic healer Lithargoel, narratives about the salvation of the soul in history, paradoxical utterances of an androgyne deity, the defeat of the persecuting Imitator by "Our Great Power" and several texts of profound Hermetic Wisdom and even a dash of Plato. In this episode I explore what is perhaps the most perplexing collection of ancient mystery wisdom to survive from antiquity. Consider Supporting Esoterica!
